The Democratic People's Republic of The Soviet Texas Union is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Marshal Marky Drez Thorpe with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.988 billion Soviet Texans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sokovia. The average income tax rate is 87.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Soviet Texan economy, worth 938 trillion denars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 156,658 denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a bright dawn ahead for The Soviet Texas Union, government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, and The Soviet Texas Union is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime is totally unknown. The Soviet Texas Union's national animal is the Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vrodrinism.

The Soviet Texas Union is ranked 177,548^th in the world and 3,256^th in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
